About 40% of the garden green space is also designed outside the building complex, forming a beautiful pattern of "there is a garden in the museum and a museum in the garden".
The main building of the main exhibition hall is based on the ancient observation platform in Yuan Dynasty (the earliest existing observation platform site in China, located in Dengfeng, Henan), and is transformed into a "coronation pyramid" through artistic exaggeration. Its bottom is a square with a length of 63 meters and a height of 45.5 meters. There are five floors in the interior design, including one underground floor. The crown is square bucket-shaped, and the cover is raised, which means "nectar" and "rustic", which means that the Central Plains is the source of China and blends with all directions. The outer wall is yellow-brown, with the "Loess" and "Yellow River" in the Central Plains as symbols of Chinese civilization. There are light blue transparent windows up and down the main hall, and there are transparent lighting belts up and down, which has the majestic momentum of "how the water of the Yellow River moves to the sky".
Behind the main hall is the cultural relics warehouse. The design of the whole building complex takes the majestic and broad "Central Plains Spirit" as the core, with simple lines, novel and unique shapes, unique styles and magnificent momentum.
